[Short Intro] [Verse 1] It ain't easy living life today For simple people in a complex age Go to school and you find you a job And you lose yourself 'cause you work non-stop Television will show you how to be A productive member of society But folks like us we ain't got it made The rent is always due and the bills ain't paid [Chorus] And we dance As careless as a child of summertime Rhythm soothes the troubled weary mind Well you lose yourself in movement And you leave this world behind 'Cause we dance to remember we're alive [Verse 2] Boy you ain't the stuffy type Who will only dance when the time is right World makes reasons every day Where honest folks dance their cares away We ain't got much no not a lot But we got music and the beat is hot Don't need money don't need fame You just act like no one's there no be ashamed [Chorus] And you dance As careless as a child of summertime Rhythm soothes the troubled weary mind Well you lose yourself in movement And you leave this world behind 'Cause we dance to remember we're alive And we dance As careless as a child of summertime While rhythm soothes the troubled weary mind Well you lose yourself in movement And we leave this world behind 'Cause we dance to remember we're alive
